Snakes Don't Take Direction
An interview with the Coen Brother's about the making of the movie True Grit and the reaction to the movie:

“You might be surprised,” Joel said, “but if you went back and looked at the initial response to a lot of our movies, I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve read, ‘This is different type of Coen brothers movie,’ or ‘This is a Coen brothers movie for people who don’t like the Coen brothers.’ That response becomes weirdly the norm. We don’t really think about it that way. It’s just another story we’re telling.”

3D TV Technology News
A piece in Bloomberg paints a mixed picture of the state of the 3D TV market:

The companies are ditching the stereoscopic 3-D standard used in first-generation sets sold starting in 2010. Those require active-shutter, or battery-powered, glasses to combine images into the 3-D effect. Customers complained about the $100 to $150 price and weight of such glasses, said Matthew McRae, chief technology officer of Irvine, California-based Vizio.
“We heard they were uncomfortable, they were heavy, they had to be recharged,” McRae said. “As a mass consumer product, it clearly was not the right technology.”

Masaru Kato, Sony Corp.’s chief financial officer, said in October that sales of 3-D sets, projected to account for 10 percent of the Tokyo-based company’s 25 million annual TV sales target, were trailing previous expectations.
